Not announced at today's HTC Mobile World Congress press conference in Barcelona, HTC also unveiled the HTC Desire 610; a compact Android smartphone which comes packed with a host of features for an incredible mobile audio and visual experience, including a stunning 4.7" screen, HTC Sense, HTC BlinkFeed and HTC's industry leading sound property - HTC BoomSound. The HTC Desire 610 is powered by a quad core processor and 4G LTE connectivity. The allround multimedia experience is completed with advanced photo editing capabilities and automatic highlight videos that will enable to share and show off photos and videos in amazing quality.

As expected and as I wrote earlier, Nokia today announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona the Android AOSP-base X-series; which includes the Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL and which run Android apps, Microsoft services and signature Nokia experiences. The Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL are priced to capture the fast-growing affordable smartphone market; filling the gap between the Lumia Windows Phones and Asha S40 phones; and provide an on-ramp to Microsoft services like Skype, OneDrive and outlook.com. The Nokia X family features Nokia's renowned handset quality and design, with a fresh, tile-based user interface inspired by our Lumia family. All devices come with Fastlane, a screen which lets people switch between their favorite apps more smoothly.

I'm quite sure you already know InstaWeather, at least you should have seen it if you are on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Google+. It's the best selling app which allows you to spice-up your photos with current weather conditions and forecasts; showing your friends and followers how beautiful or ugly the weather is at your current location. Now, byss mobile has released an update for Android and iOS which adds a new feature: Video mode. This allows you to use your videos instead of your photos, to spice them up with video conditions of your current condition. InstaWeather Pro video features all the weather overlays it supports for photos, making your memories even more alive.

Right ahead of this month's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, it seems that the first real photo of the so called HTC One 2, code-named HTC M8, made its way to the web and it seems to confirm earlier rumors and leaks. It indeed looks like HTC is continuing with its aluminum unibody design, which made the original HTC One to one of the best looking Android smartphones so far but it also seems to confirm that the HTC M8 will indeed come with a kind of dual-camera. The purpose of this dual-camera design is still totally unclear but I wouldn't expect that HTC is going to reinvent the 3D photography because that's dead, nobody cares about 3D anymore. More likely is a kind of second UltraPixel sensor for low-light conditions.

There were a couple of information floating around the past weeks that Samsung might not show or announce its next Android hero smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S5, in Barcelona, during this month's Mobile World Congress. Other sources have spoken from dedicated events in the UK or the US. I've saved you and me from all these rumors because a rumor is just a rumor and in this case they weren't even good one. Nevertheless, this morning Samsung sent out an invitation for its "UNPACKED5" event in Barcelona; and on top it also made the event public on Twitter. Following the previous Unpacked events, we can expect something great and the number 5 might indicate that Samsung will indeed unveil the Galaxy S5.
